Description: A thesis that, in addition to offering a very strong legal analysis, has such a practical range that it could be used as a handbook by anyone working with these issues.' Jury Report Hanneke Steenbergen scriptieprijs 2012.

Focus lies on the specific situation of children who wish to enjoy family life in their home country with a parent from outside the EU. It aims to assess whether, and to what extent, their right to family life and right to abode by virtue of their nationality are taken into account by the Courts. On 29 November 2012 Ellen Nissen was awarded the Hanneke Steenbergen scriptieprijs. This prize is awarded each year for the best thesis on migration law.
